More info. If I disable ACPI with -no-acpi the VM boots but
 then chews up far more of the host CPU than previously. The
only real explanation I can find for this on the guest side
is a very high number of timer interrupts:

    guest > cat /proc/interrupts 
               CPU0       
      0:    2575369    XT-PIC-XT        timer
      1:          9    XT-PIC-XT        i8042
      2:          0    XT-PIC-XT        cascade
      4:        536    XT-PIC-XT        serial
      8:          0    XT-PIC-XT        rtc0
      9:          0    XT-PIC-XT        virtio0
     11:        202    XT-PIC-XT        virtio1, eth0
     12:        111    XT-PIC-XT        i8042

     15:       3676    XT-PIC-XT        ata_piix
    NMI:          0   Non-maskable interrupts

    TRM:          0   Thermal event interrupts

    SPU:          0   Spurious interrupts

Cheers,
